This post is from long, long ago, but I've discovered a pocket carry option that I wanted to share with you.

The basis is the Ziploc pint freezer bag. It's not the most durable plastic bag ever, but the idea is to replace it every month or so.

What it needed was something to provide protection on the outer face and to create a rigid structure to keep everything from collapsing in a clump.

My solution was to cut up one of those thin plastic cutting sheets. Currently, I'm using a piece that's 3-3/4 x 6-3/4 in. (9.5 x 17 cm) with rounded corners.

Protection on the inside face is provided by a folded paper hand towel. This is the plush kind you encounter every so often in a restroom or used as a napkin at a restaurant. The paper towel is what I use in place of a handkerchief to give out to people who need it.

Between these two faces, the material and gear inside stays pristine.
